Game 8 (Protoss / Tal’darim Alter LE)

 

Build order / plan

• 12 drone for scout (4 player map)
• 14 gas
• 13 drone for scout (2 player map)
• 14 pool
• 16 lord
• 100% pool -> queen
• 18 2xlings
• Speed
• 20 drone
• Exp
• 23 lord
• Expo pops -> overlord
• 30ish evo + spine crawler + drones on gas + second gas
• 40ish roach + lair
• Lair done -> 3rd gas

Pre game goal

Get a lot of drones early on and try to defend with spines, queens and speedlings. Then switch into mass roach/hydra, attack/pressure and get a 3rd up. Focus on timing everything and not forgetting stuff, use the adjustments for the timing:

• Take drones from gas when pool is done
• Instant larvae inject when queen pops
• Make overlord when first vomit larvae
• When building drones/lings from first inject, do new inject
• Make overlord when second hatch pops
• 3rd gas when lair is done

Post game analysis

I again was pyloned / cannoned in, I really need to focus on my sending my second ovy to my natural and sending one drone when I scout it. After I killed the wallin, I double expanded and pressured with roaches. I scouted his 3rd too late and should have put more pressure on it. When I saw his 3rd, I took a 4th. Overall I didn’t mix in enough drones in the mid game. Scouted double robo and made corrupters but I messed up the engagement completely, I never really used corrupters and couldn’t handle the microing. After I lost my army,I got overrun. Also I got way out-upgraded.

Benchmark (10 mins)

• Drones: 34
• Zerglings: 0
• Roaches: 8
• Hydras: 0
• Queens: 1
• Spines: 1
• Spores: 0
• Supply: 55
• Tech: Lair / roach / hydra / 1 base (+2 on the way)

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Got pyloned/cannoned in	No scouting at my ramp/exp	Put second ovy at exp/ramp + send worker to scout for it
Didn’t scout his 3rd	Not enough scouting	Send overlords across the map + make scouting zerglings
Not enough drones in mid-late game	Too much focus on units	After pushing enemy back / killing army / pressuring effectively => make round of drones
Opponents army stronger	Got out-upgraded	Focus more on upgrades, make a second evo when +1 attack finishes
